Dongtai Road (Lu) is about 586 meters long and 12 meters wide. It is located at the northeast part of Luwan District, near South Xizang Road and Middle Fuxing Road , stretching from Shanghai tour Chongde Road in the north to Zhaozhou Road in the south. It is famous because of an antique market here- Dongtai Road Antique Market. Dongtai Road Antique Market is about 200 meters long, gathering over 100 shops and stands of various sizes and features. At this outdoor flea market you can find many antiques and curios, though the authenticity of the antiques is doubtful.
Kind of like a bootleg Antiques Road Show, Dongtai Lu is packed with good old dusty Mao memorabilia, vintage curios and trinkets; even if you have to navigate through the riffraff to find the gems. Look out for small revolution-era porcelain statues and old cameras (buy at your own risk). There’s some treasures in the rough; use patience and diligence to find them. You might want to leave the watches alone Yangtze River cruises all together. Even if you don’t buy, the sheer experience of walking down this alley is something to behold.
